Be careful what you hear, how you hear, and who you allow to teach you, for you will be held accountable for what you hear, and how you hear!
And GOD will judge you with the same judgment he judges the teachers you have chosen to teach you, for like people, like pastor, like leader, and GOD will punish you for your ways, and reward you for what you do!
And if you are a leader, then the people will test you, prove you, question your teachings, question you as a man or woman of GOD, and if you cannot give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear, then they will make you suffer the feelings of condemnation, for we are all called to test the spirit by the spirit, to see if that spirit is of GOD or not, for many false prophets and false teachers have gone out into the world!~
And if you are a leader, then you should always be ready to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear!~
(Hosea 4:9) And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
(Mark 4:23-25) JESUS SAYS, If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. And JESUS said unto them, Take heed what you hear: with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. For he that has, to him shall be given more: and he that does not have, from him shall be taken away even that which he seems to have.
(Luke 10:21-24) In that hour JESUS rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in your sight.
All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knows who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see: For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them.
Brothers and sisters, we live in time where not many people seek after JESUS with their whole hearts, minds, and souls, that they might know GOD through the revelation knowledge of JESUS CHRIST for themselves, that they might become the true sons and daughters of GOD!
Now instead of people seeking after GOD for themselves, they now seek after men, money, prosperity, material possessions, false teachers, false prophets, false apostles, and false leaders, because they choose to follow after the flesh of men, than to follow CHRIST JESUS!~
And they fail to realize this truth, that GOD is going to judge you with the same judgment that he judges the false teachers, false prophets, false apostles, and false leaders with, because you were told the truth, just like they were told the truth!~
Brothers and sisters, On the day of judgment no man is going to have an excuse for not following JESUS, seeking JESUS, and knowing GOD through the revelation knowledge of JESUS CHRIST!
For JESUS constantly said in his word, “follow me, seek me, come to me, and learn of me, for I am the way, the truth, and the life”, and no man or woman can know GOD or come to GOD, unless they know CHRIST JESUS!~
Brothers and sisters, you will be held accountable for what you choose to hear, how you hear, and who you choose to hear, for like people, like pastor: and GOD will punish you for your ways, and reward you for what you do.
And if you’re selling the free word of GOD, selling the free gifts of GOD, selling the free anointing of GOD, making merchandise out of GOD’S people, abusing GOD’S people, handling the word of GOD deceitfully, and making GOD’S house of prayer into a den of thieves, then we know you didn’t learn those ways from JESUS, for JESUS is the way to GOD, the truth of GOD, and the life of GOD, and no man or woman can come to GOD or know GOD, unless they know JESUS!~
(John 14:6-7) JESUS SAYS, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
(Matthew 11:28-29) JESUS SAYS, Come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.
(John 6:44-45) JESUS SAYS, No man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him to me: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.
Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes unto me.
(John 10:14-16) JESUS SAYS, I am the good PASTOR, and I know my sheep, and my sheep know me. As the Father knows me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this sheepfold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one sheepfold, and one PASTOR.
(John 10:5) JESUS SAYS, And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
(John 10:25-29) JESUS SAYS, I told you, and you believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. But you do not believe me, because you are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
Brothers and sisters, many people read this word in (James 3:1-2), and they think it means leaders will receive a greater judgment than people who are not leaders, but that is not what this verse of scripture means!
This word says, My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
Brothers and sisters, condemnation does not come from GOD, and there is no condemnation to those who are in CHRIST JESUS, for condemnation comes from people!
(James 3:1-2) My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
(Romans 8:1-5) There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Again I say, If you are a leader, then the people will test you, prove you, question your teachings, question you as a man or woman of GOD, and if you cannot give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear, then they will make you suffer the feelings of condemnation, for we are all called to test the spirit by the spirit, to see if that spirit is of GOD or not, for many false prophets and false teachers have gone out into the world!~
And if you are a leader, then you should always be ready to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear!~
(1 Peter 3:15-16) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
(2 Timothy 4:2-5) Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But you watch in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry.
